Improved Mo neutron resonance parameters from neutron capture and transmission measurements at n_TOF and GELINA

R. Mucciola, S. Cristallo, S. Kopecky +140

We report high-resolution measurements of the cross section in the neutron energy range from a few eV up to about 250 keV, performe…

First Nb() Measurement: Constraining the Nucleosynthetic Origin of Mo in Presolar Grains

J. Balibrea-Correa, J. Lerendegui-Marco, C. Domingo-Pardo +136

Isotopic measurements of presolar silicon carbide grains from dying stars have revealed a puzzling overabundance of Mo that stellar nucleosynthesis models have failed to rep…

The s Process and Beyond

Maria Lugaro, Marco Pignatari, René Reifarth +1

Neutron captures produce the vast majority of abundances of elements heavier than iron in the Universe. Beyond the classical slow (s) and rapid (r) processes, there is observationa…

A prototype neutron-detector array for future deep-underground s-process studies

Thomas Chillery, David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna +12

We report a novel neutron-detection approach employing an EJ-309 liquid scintillator surrounded by six 3He proportional counters. Tests were performed at the FRANZ facility of the…

The s process in massive stars, a benchmark for neutron capture reaction rates

Marco Pignatari, Roberto Gallino, Rene Reifarth

A clear definition of the contribution from the slow neutron-capture process (s process) to the solar abundances between Fe and the Sr-Zr region is a crucial challenge for nuclear…

Measurement of the cross-section at the CERN n\_TOF facility from subthermal energy to 120 keV

Marco Antonio Martínez-Cañadas, Pablo Torres-Sánchez, Javier Praena +130

Background: The reaction is of special interest in three different applications. First, in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy due to the presence of in b…
